....every game was played outdoors...............ON GRASS. Ah grass. I miss grass. Never thought I would miss it until it was gone. Also do you remember when your coaches would have you jump thru the mud? I remember my first game at varsity(freshman) and I had my jersey all pretty with my towel in the front and everything...thinking "Man, I look good! Look at them hating me from the sideline." Then the shrill yell of Coach Briscoe: "Johnson, get in the mud! You ain't special, Johnson!" Other fond memories: When a Texas A&M recruit who later went to the NFL as an O-Lineman, plastered me as a freshman. It was the first time I actually saw stars.....actual stars: He pancaked me and I was looking at the moon. Although he was a nice guy, first and only guy to knock me down twice on one play and pick me off and dust me off later saying: 'Man, I didn't know you were a fresh.....you almost got by me. Don't do it again and were cool...." ahh memories......

I used to have a gym bag with the name of my HS on the side with plastic handles. the gym bag was rigid so itcould stand up by itself. I bought it at a clothing store. Do y'all know what I am talking about. BTW I started playing football in the ninth grade so I was about the worst kid on the team. They gave us lowlives (about 6 of us) leather helmets. They were actually more comfortable but heavier than the "real" helmets

Great trip down memory lane! I miss many of those things but there are a few that I don't such as splicing the film, what a pain!
The locker room, concrete floors - most of us did not have carpet in our houses much less the locker room
salt and Vitamin C tablets by the handfuls
You blocked people not sleds
High top Johnny U shoes that had been worn by twenty other guys and were held together with tape and lots of black shoe polish, the Seniors got the new Spot Bilts made out of kangaroo leather or something fancy like that
if it wasn't broke (and sometimes if it was) your coach taped it up and you kept playing
There was no such thing as a trainer unless it was some kid who did what the coach told him
You stuck a hand towel you stole from home and stuck it in the top of your too big suspension helmet in case the rope broke so that your head did'nt hit the plastic
AH the good old days, thanks for reminding me about some of the things that I love about our game.

Here's one you'll never see today that was commoon when I was in school and first starting as a coach. - When a fight broke out in practice the coaches and team would form a big circle and watch them fight it out until it was over. then the coach would grab them and send them running screaming nothing but four letter words the whole time.
I played with hair hangin a good 6-8" out of the back of my bike helmet with my Pony cleats.
I was the coaches kid so I usually rode with the old man to the next town to put the film on the bus to OK City to get developed bus left at 2 a.m. and you knew every bastard you met on the road was drunk. We got it back Sunday at 1p.m.
